Here's a question, I just thought about last night...
How many predominantly muslim countries are there in the world? Which ones are backing our coalition and which ones are for Sadam?
Here's a quick list off the top of my head and from
http://www.defendamerica.mil/iraq/worldviews032903.html (Forty-three countries which have offered various levels of support for Operation Iraqi Freedom are willing to be publicly named as members of the coalition, U.S. defense officials said March 20. Some countries prefer to remain anonymous, but that number becomes smaller every day as more coutnries publicly join the coaliton.):
Saudi Arabia - C(oalition)
Yemen - C
Qatar - C
Kuwait - C
UAE - C
Afghanistan - C
Philippines - C
Azerbaijan (aren't they mostly muslim?) - C
Turkey - C
Uzbekistan - C
Iran - neutral? (just hoping we don't come after them next)
Syria - S(adam)
Jordan - (I'm guessing coalition supporting on one face and Sadam loving on the other)
Turkmenistan - ?
Pakistan - two faced probably
Egypt - ?
Somalia - S (I'm sure)
Indonesia - C
Lebanon - S (whatever Syria tells it to do)
Bahrain - C
Oman - C
Djibouti - C
Sudan - ?
Libia - S (whatever takes the worlds eyes off them)
Algeria - ?
Morocco - ?
Eritrea (mostly muslim or Christian like Ethiopia???) - ?
Turkmenistan - ?
Uzbeckistan - ?
Kazahkstan - ?
Kyrgistan - ?
Can anyone help me fill in the blanks? Did I miss any? If I'm right, it shows something interesting....
Something going down in Basra right now. Massive flares lit overhead of the city.
